Why do we stay stuck in work that doesn’t feel right — even when we know it’s time to move on?
In this episode of Good Shift, I sit down with Bianca Smeekes, mind-body coach and founder of Neurospark, to unpack the neuroscience behind feeling stuck.
In this episode, we explore:
- How subtle signs like fatigue, anxiety, and numbness may be clues your career no longer fits
- Why your nervous system can keep you stuck — even when you want to change
- The mindset shifts Bianca used to move to powerful change
- The science of taking small steps toward fulfillment
- Real, grounded advice for moving forward when the future feels unclear
